MANUEL POLLINGER BASSE-BARITONE
META CERV PIANO

The telling of stories is the most primitive form of art song. The small – and large – audience is transported by META CERV (piano) and MANUEL POLLINGER (bass-baritone), along with numerous elves (A+O Dance), to eerie and mysterious places where dreamlike fairies and whimsical ghosts reign.
